Could someone tell me what you can access on a slave Ocelot and how?

Specifically, Can the master access / write all the slave variables?

Can the slave access the master Ocelot variables to read or change?

Can the slave access any modules? Can it access module data in the master?

I am now thinking about having a slave Ocelot as an I/o processor, but can't see how the Ocelots talk to eachother.

Thanks.

The master can obtain from a slave:

- A variable's value
- If an IR code was received, along with the IR code number
- If a touch button was pressed (for a slave Leopard) along with the button number

The master can send to a slave:

- A variable to update
- Make it send an IR code (codes stored in the slave)
- Make it send an ASCII string

Guy,

"The master can obtain from a slave:

I don't think this is entirely true. As I recall, the master can obtain some, but not all, of the slave's variables. As I recall, the limitation is up to VAR46 or something like that. I can't find our previous discussions on this issue, though. Probably goes back too far. \:\) \:\)

There is also a maximum limit of 30 slave variables and/or analog inputs that can be tracked by the master.

Guy,

Wasn't there a second limitation as well. I can't remember but maybe there was a limit on the number of slave variables that a master can write to ??

Thanks !! Chris

I don't see a limit in the quantity of slave variables that can be updated, but the queue holding the number of variables to update does have a limit, so you would not want to queue more then 9 or 10 slave variable updates in one shot.
